Hey Everyone,
It`s time to share our plans for continuing updating KW2DE and what the future holds.
To start things off - some bad news - KW2DE release really didn`t go as we planned. There was too much confusion about releasing KW2DE as a new release due to compatibility issues; and lets face it - this type of strategy gameplay is not what majority of our Kingdom War players are looking for - open ended world map gameplay.
However - we did have a large number of players who did enjoy KW2DE, so we don`t plan to abandon KW2DE and discontinue updates. But we are pulling the plug on the Undead expansion... as lets face it, there`s just not enough interest in the title to warrant months of work on this free expansion pack.
Upcoming Updates
Our focus for the rest of 2019 and early 2020 will be Medieval Kingdom Wars, but that`s actually good news for KW2DE. Both games now use basically the same game engine and share majority of code - so whatever we do to MKW to improve combat, performance e.t.c. will all be copied to KW2DE and released same time as MKW updates. And we still have big plans for improving MKW - and thus KW2DE.
To start things of - big performance and ground camera improvements are on the horizon. We also hope to continue on improving visual aspects of our game engine.
Stars End
However - as some of you might know, we do have another project going into Early Access now - Stars End, so there will be a bit of a delay before the next update for KW2DE is out - looking for early November.
And to preempt possible complaints about working on another game - Stars End is designed by separate two developers, using completely different engine and completely independent from the two other Kingdom Wars developers. But since Stars End is launching soon, it would take all of our team couple of extra weeks to help out there - thus the delay.
Thanks again for your support, and looking forward to bringing your Update 7 in a few weeks.
